"Train
104 at Grove City running about 35 miles an hour, a good deal of black smoke
EH! Joe Smallwood, Engineer. / A letter in a few days. Wm. S." uncaptioned
(so we used most of the message on back) divided back real photo postcard,
mailed 8/20/07 (partial MINNEAPOLIS in RPO cancel) to US Marine Barracks in
Baracoa Cuba (arrival AGO 31) via Key West (partial New Orleans transit
cancel). There are 5 Grove Cities in the US: 3 (in PA FL & OH would have
gone in the wrong direction to get to New Orleans on the way to Key West), 1
(in IL has no railroad going through it at all), leaving Minnesota! We have
seen a 1909 real photo of the Main Street depot in Grove City MN in which
the locomotive looks exactly like this one. The engineer Joe Smallwood can
be seen to the left in this head-on shot. William Smallwood would be the
sender, probably his dad or brother. Sent early during the second US
military occupation of Cuba ordered by Theodore Roosevelt to protect North
American interests there. The New Orleans - Key West transit would have been
by ship. $45.00 $35.00 m(g)g-cSALE PRICE: SAVE $10.00 (22% OFF)
